Everyone was wrong about the Everton game and based on how the players played I don't think many will want to stick their necks out apart from that is Mark Lawrenson with his match prediction - a Fulham win.

Fulham are one point and one place behind us going into this match and with home advantage I can understand why Lawrenson has predicted the victory but I just cant see it.

Fulham, although unlucky to lose against Chelsea lost and they are behind us for a reason.

One thing Aston Villa have shown is they know how to beat teams who are not playing good football - look at Sunderland, Charlton and most recently Everton for examples.

However I'm not going to predict a win for Villa or a defeat. A draw would be seen as a good result by most so that's what I'm going for - and a request that if we get a penalty it is not taken by Juan Pablo Angel or Gareth Barry.
